Been Trill Opens New York Store

Been Trill have been very busy as of late, first by relaunching their online presence, and now opening up their first ever retail space in New York. Located on 271 Canal Street in New York, the store opened at the tail end of last week and Heron Preston –- a key member of the initiative -– told The New York Times last month that the store would be located “in one of those rinky-dink souvenir malls.” While all products will be produced exclusively for the store, the stores will be restocked daily, and if that wasn’t enough, the collective are exploring similar retail opportunities in both Los Angeles and Hong Kong.
